Trial fit of two stroke door card, I've got the door release and window winder arms, just need to source the plastic collars that fit under them, and also the split pin that holds the handles in place...

As far as I can tell, it's a milk bottle top, how it got in the tank is anyone's guess!

Posted - 11 Sep 2017 : 11:18:47 Trying to get to the bottom of the continued petrol fume smells eminating from the pickup. So thought I'd watch the tank as I filled it up, as it got towards the top, I noticed some splashes appearing on the wall next to the tank, then a full on leak of petrol running along the lower edge of the tank!

I still couldn't see where it was coming from, so decided to remove the tank and have a proper look. So with the car jacked up and a 40ltr trug positioned under the car, I emptied the tank and took it out of the car.

With the tank out of the car, it was fairly obvious where the leak was coming from, it looked like there had been a repair (possibly filler) made around the base of the breather tube. With it removed, it looked like this...

Check there weren't any other leaks by dunking in the bath, thankfully no bubbles! Then I filled up the tank with water - so I could feel safer when it came to soldering the joint!So with some flux applied to the joint and some solder in place, I approached the tank with a gas torch!

and here is the result...

I then emptied out the water and did another dunk test and all looks OK, so the next stage is to stick it back in the car, fill it up and watch for any leaks, but hopefully I'm in the clear!

Letting the train take the strain

First pit stop for some coffee, looked like the big fella is a permanent fixture
